- ╚ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- ╚ The Microsoft Windows NT operating system runs on Intel 80386 and higher
- ╚ systems with a recommended configuration of 8 MB of RAM and 100 MB or more
- ╚ of disk space, or on similarly conigured RISC based systems.
- ╚
- ╚ I'd say that those are pretty steep hardware requirements which I'd
- ╚be more than happy to live with on a 68030-based color Mac (I do fine
- ╚with 5 megs of memory and 80 megs of HD).

- Well, for the cost of your machine(assuming it's a Mac][ci), you could have a
- 486DX 50Mhz, 32Megs RAM and, say, a half Gig HD...that's the equal of a really
- serious Quadra, except twice as fast and four times the basic memory and more
- disk space...
- I just bought a 386DX 33Mhz 8MegsRAM 336Meg HD with Trackball, Fax/Modem,
- Math Co-Processor, and SVGA for a little over 2G's...that's more of a machine
- right there than my Mac][ci which has 160MegHD, 5MegsRAM an '030, is 25Mhz, and
- cost over twice as much( with a mere VGA...)
- So obviously hardware cost isn't a factor if comparing the Mac to
- Win/NT...unless you really want Mac to look bad...
